Based on how fast the trial went from start to acquittal, it makes my inexperience mind wonder why an experienced prosecutor would go to trial with a case so weak. What was the point? Seems like the outcome made sure that Printup can't be tried again if they ever do get better evidence.
I hope it is not ANOTHER productive, law abiding citizen murdered next time. I thought the oath was to justice, not to winning as long as it makes you a handsome profit. As we have been told in the past, acquitted does not mean innocent, it only means the justice system is not doing it's job.

Would I be correct in guessing that at trial there was at least some colorable evidence that someone else was on the trigger?

Dinner Saturday night at a swanky joint in Lafayette. Entire table wanted to talk about the Printup case (weeks after the acquittal).
People are really ticked about this.
Did anyone have any insight into reasons for the outcome?
Did not want to say anything before trial as I know the Prosecutor has an investigator assigned to read everything I write here..........
WTF!? One of those two *******s that were at the scene killed her. How is that not enough to level charges at both?
WTF?!
Wait, this investigator isn't a free lancer working out of Carmel is it?
KYPDACS, Brother.

Just concerns, angry concerns. I roll with Industrial Hygienists and Chemical Engineers mostly. We have a doc, but I am the only attorney in the bunch.
I talked to Mikey Mike after the verdict. He mentioned that the State's witnesses were less than optimal and with me living in the neighborhood I can tell you that there is no way driver girl saw what she claimed.
I think it was jacked from the get go. No Felony Murder and yet Robbery was the theme of the case? No Conpiracy to Commit Murder Count? Inter alia. However, it was not mine to prosecute so all speculation on my part.

I wish I could explain it. But, IMO, they dicked up from the jump off. They made a Faustian choice to go with the guy that lied to them but won the prisoner's dilemma. Remember, the co-D walked with nothing (as well as Driver Girl).
Robbery, robbery this, robbery that and no Felony Murder, no Conspiracy for Murder or Robbery.
Nah, out of Lafayette. They print out what I write and dump it in the file.
I know they are watching me. They think I don't know about COUNTERINTEL, cannot see the cars behind me or think that all their deputies approve of the b.s. they are throwing at me.
It's not just about me getting SWATted for the Freedom of Information of Act that I filed over the phony courtroom and the gun ban (the phony courtroom was in the prosecutor's new digs at 111 North 4th Street, we call it "Pat's Palace"), but it's about me calling them on their b.s. on a Driving While Black case (charges dismissed and 100K back to the D), a fake charge against an Asian-American at Purdue and a civil forfeiture where they pulled some behind the back b.s. and I caught them and they know I'm going to testify against that in the General Assembly's discussion of civil forfeiture reform this year.
Politics, man, it's all politics.
Live in the shadows and live in fear.
Live in the sunshine and live with joy.
They are running out of crap to throw at me. I know that they can always plant something on me, but by talking about that option, I take it away from them.
You may want to mention all of the other options so that you cover yourself, but on the other hand you don't want to give them ideas either.They are running out of crap to throw at me. I know that they can always plant something on me, but by talking about that option, I take it away from them.
